London Kills (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Turf Wars - full transcript

You don't think
I should be here, do you?

Well, since you asked, no.

Not while you don't know
where your wife is.

He slipped out of the pub the
night that Sarah disappeared.

But he was with you all night.

Wasn't he?

Not all night.

I covered for him.

Do you really want
to go to prison

for perverting
the course of justice?

I'll sort it.



I need to know
where you went to.

- Why's David lying to me?
- I followed him.

I think I know why the detective
inspector is being so secretive.

I think he's got another woman.

She's got a kid.

What, David's?

I know exactly where you were.

If you two
don't get off my back,

you can wave goodbye
to your jobs

and wave goodbye
to your pensions.

Maguire.

Don't bother coming back!

Callum.

Somebody help me!



Callum.

Callum, Callum, Callum.

Our victim is a Marcus Maguire.

-Really?
-You know him?

Marcus Maguire was a gangster.

Drugs, extortion, vice.

His son Callum's been shot, too.

So this could be
the opening salvo of what?

Some sort of turf war?

It's got gangland hit
written all over it.

I'm sorry to tell you
that your father-in-law,

Marcus Maguire,
has also been shot.

Is -- Is he...

He died at the scene.

We'll need your clothes.

And your phone.

For forensic purposes.

It's ballsy.

Shooting the Maguires
in broad daylight.

Any of your famous insights?

Well, whoever did this
certainly knew their routine.

So someone
with inside knowledge.

Well, we can't rule that out.

What is this place, anyway?

It's an exclusive
members-only casino.

Who does he think he is?

-Oi, you can't do that!
-Viv, I'll deal with him.

It's Adrian Cook.
He owns this place.

Fine with me.
I'll check on the CCTV.

Mr. Bradford.

Social media is going crazy.
Has someone really been shot?

Marcus Maguire.

You're joking.

Not just Marcus.
His son Callum, too.

On his doorstep.

-Are they...
-Yep.

Both dead.

Shall we continue
this conversation over here?

Thank you.

We'd only been married
seven months.

Have you got any idea
who did this?

I know exactly who did it.

Adrian Cook.

Callum and his dad, they turned
his failing casino 'round.

Then he decides
he wants them out.

How did Callum and his dad
react to that?

They made him a counteroffer.

To buy him out.

What was Cook's reaction?

I think the exact words
were "over my dead body."

They were great guys.

Really, really great guys.

What was your relationship
with the Maguires?

They managed my casino
and my amusement arcades.

Do you know, I was meant
to meet Marcus here at 8:00.

I texted him to say I couldn't.

You've had a lucky escape.

We can arrange for protection
for you.

No. No.

No, thank you, Mr. Bradford.

I can look after myself.

I'll get my sergeant
to take your statement.

And any help I can give you
in your inquiries, please,

please don't hesitate to ask.

Has anyone told Gloria?

Who's Gloria?

Marcus' girlfriend.

She's pregnant.

Have you got
her contact details?

Yeah.

Is that the practice nurse?

No, it's the police.

I'm here to see Gloria Tanner.

Yeah, come up.

She's losing the baby.

I could tell
something was wrong last night.

And you are?

Dean Casey.

Gloria's neighbor and friend.

Hello, Gloria.

I'm Trainee Detective Constable
Billie Fitzgerald.

Is there any way I can help?

It's the baby.

I've just spoken to HQ.

To say they're nervy
is an understatement.

The worst-case scenario
is that this thing escalates.

-Rob.
-Right.

We've got a number of images
of the scooter and its rider.

We've checked the index...

...and the make or model
don't match,

so we're sure
that the plates are stolen.

Victimology?

This is Marcus Maguire.

54 years old.

Served time for fraud,
money laundering,

armed robbery and assault,

and occasioning
actual bodily harm.

-Nice.
-What about the son?

Uh, Callum Maguire.

31 years old.

Better behaved than his dad.

Or better at not getting caught.

The National Crime Agency

had Callum under observation
a while back.

They were sure that he was
running a major drugs operation.

But they couldn't find anything
to stick.

Callum's widow, Alice,

is convinced that Adrian Cook
is behind the murders.

I've checked. Adrian Cook
doesn't have a police record.

That's because his superpower

is getting other people
to do his dirty work.

Never managed to put him away.

Not for lack of trying.

Where was he at the time
of the shooting?

He claims

he was visiting his mother.

I'm still waiting for
the care home to call me back.

I've got to deal with this.

If these murders are down
to Adrian Cook,

let's finally wipe
that smile off his smug face.

How's the detective inspector
been with you?

-Fine.
-Yeah, me too.

Do you reckon he's forgiven us?

Yeah, if we toe the line.

It feels like I'm back
on probation again.

Yeah, it's Detective Inspector
David Bradford.

Well, when will he be in?

Yeah, he's got my number.

I haven't told Gloria.

That the Maguires
have been murdered.

Don't worry.

That's my job.

How did you know about that?

Social media.

I used to be in the police.

All me mates
are talking about it.

Did you know the victims?

Yeah. From my time
in the police.

I couldn't believe it when
Gloria introduced Marcus Maguire

as her new boyfriend.

Not a fan, then?

Well, the nurse
couldn't find a heartbeat.

I'm so sorry.

What are
you even doing here, anyway?

There's something
I need to tell you.

Something distressing.

It's your boyfriend, Marcus.

Oh, what's he done now?

I'm so sorry to tell you,
but Marcus Maguire was killed.

Earlier this morning.

What happened?

He was shot dead.

When I got
to Gloria Tanner's place,

she was miscarrying,

and when I told her
Marcus was dead,

she just laughed. For ages.

And she said it was the shock,
but I'm not so sure.

-What do you mean?
-I just got this strong feeling

there's a load
she's not telling me.

How are you getting on?

Oh, Adrian Cook's alibi
checks out.

He was with his elderly mother
when the murders took place.

Doesn't mean
he's not behind them.

-Indeed.
-That was the tech unit.

They found something interesting
on Marcus Maguire's phone.

You can take your drugs
and stick 'em.

Do anything like that again,
and I'll kill you!

So, who is that?

Subscriber is Afrim Tanner.

Aged 17, same address as Gloria.

Must be her son.

Gloria didn't mention
she has a son.

So, he called Marcus last night?

At 11:23.

Do you want the icing
on the cake?

Afrim Tanner is the registered
owner of a red scooter.

Here you go.

Thanks.

You used to be a policeman.

What have you heard?

It was someone on a scooter.

Shot the pair of 'em.

Do you know what?
I need to find Afrim.

Why?

Because I'm worried he's done
something really stupid.

So, what you gonna do?

About the boss?

Well he's
effectively blackmailing us.

He's saying if we don't
stop asking questions

about where he was
the night his wife went missing,

-then we're off the team.
-It only matters where he was

if you think he'd do harm
to Sarah, and I don't.

Do you?

No.

There we are, then.

Look, you concentrate on the
scan, and I'll find your son.

Thank you. I don't know
what we'd do without you.

Thanks.

That looks like
our guy there. That's him.

Stop! Police!

Stop! All units.

Red scooter.
Failed to stop for police.

Rider wanted
on suspicion of murder.

Your mum's worried about ya.

Look, she needs you, mate.

She's lost the baby.

I've really messed up.

Intelligence suggests
that Marcus Maguire

was supplying half the spice
in West London.

He used a network of kids
on scooters.

My guess is that Afrim Tanner

was one of them.

I still don't understand
how the two of you lost him.

- Okay, thanks.
- We got half the police

in London looking for him.

You can call off the search.

He's just walked in downstairs.

"I wish to give
the following prepared statement

to police about the drugs
found outside my home address.

I admit I was in possession
of them.

I believe them to be spice.

I found them by some bins
on Packwell Avenue.

I kept them because I thought
I would use them myself

and sell them to my friends.

I know that this is wrong,
and I apologize.

No one else was involved
in this matter."

When was the last time
you saw Marcus Maguire?

Can we stick
to possession of drugs?

We are.

This is connected.

Look, I'm here 'cause Dean
told me to fess up to the drugs.

If this is about what went down
with Marcus and Callum...

Settle down.
Afrim, what did I tell ya?

I'm not a killer.

You can take your drugs
and stick 'em.

Do anything like that again,
and I'll kill you!

Have you been selling drugs
for Marcus Maguire?

We'll ask the questions,
thank you, Mr. Casey.

Well, have you?

For the tape.

Yes.

Why were you so angry
with Marcus last night?

'Cause of what he did to my mum.

He punched her in the belly.

It's why she lost her baby.

Tell me, Afrim.
How did you get here?

Dean gave me a lift.

Why?

Haven't you heard?

The person that killed
Marcus and Callum Maguire

was riding a scooter.

Red.

No.

Just like yours.

I -- It wasn't me.

- It wasn't me.
- Where were you

between the hours
of 7:00 and 9:00 this morning?

What's this got to do
with the drugs?

I think the voicemail proves

that the two inquiries
are linked.

So, where were you

between the hours of 7:00
and 9:00 this morning?

I-I went for a walk.

I-I needed to clear my head.
It wasn't me.

I didn't kill them.

Adrian Cook's
just been in a car crash.

Someone tried
to run him off the road.

-How is he?
-He's alive.

Good. I wouldn't want him
getting off that easily.

He's been taken to hospital.
I'm heading over there now.

I'll come with you.

Been through the wars, Mr. Cook?

How observant.

Some maniac tried to run me
off the road.

My car is a write-off.

Oh, we're very sorry
to hear that.

Can you describe the vehicle?

Yes. A white 4x4.

-Any idea who was driving?
-Uh, no.

And you're sure it was
a targeted attack?

100%.

Have you any reason to believe
that this incident is connected

to the murders
of Marcus and Callum Maguire?

How would I know that?

Why don't you just go
and do your jobs

and find out
who just tried to kill me?!

Okay, don't you worry, Mr. Cook.

We're all over it.

Don't fancy a spare rib, Viv?

-Vivienne.
-What about the scooter?

Um, we can track it by CCTV...

to Lorimer Gardens,
and then it just disappears.

So the killer
stashed it somewhere.

Yeah, I'm gonna head down
to Lorimer Gardens,

see if I can find
a possible dump site.

Rob Brady.

Okay, cheers.

Alice Maguire's been arrested

for dangerous driving
in her white 4x4.

And the car's
got extensive frontal damage.

Attempted grievous bodily harm
with a car as a weapon

is a serious offense.

What were you thinking, Alice?

I told you
Adrian Cook killed my husband.

And you people
have done nothing about it.

Yeah, well,
Mr. Cook has an alibi

for the time of the shootings.

Of course he has an alibi.

That's how he operates.

Look, if we find any evidence

that Adrian Cook ordered
the murder of your husband,

we'll make sure
he gets sent down.

For life.

What we don't need is you taking
the law into your own hands.

We had a fight.

Callum and I.

The last thing I said to him...

I told him not to bother
coming back.

What was the fight about?

- Where's Afrim?
- Still in custody.

I think
they're gonna charge him.

Possession with intent
to supply Class "A" drugs.

How are you?

I thought
you were gonna help him.

I was trying to.

They seem to think
he killed Marcus and Callum.

What?! No!

Hello, Gloria.

How was the scan?

It just confirmed what I already
knew -- The baby's gone,

and I've got to wait
for nature to take its course.

I'm just --
I'm just worried about my son.

There's no way Afrim had
anything to do with the murders.

Your son hasn't been arrested
for murder.

But I would like to talk to you
about something Afrim's told us.

Let's go across the hall.

Just give me a moment, Gloria.

You were in the job.

-Maybe you can help me.
-Anything.

You said you were worried
about the baby last night.

Yeah.

I knocked about 8:00

to see
if Gloria needed anything.

She was feeling
uncomfortable then.

Did she tell you
what had happened with Marcus?

She was in a terrible state.

And did you stay with Gloria
after that?

-Yeah.
-How long for?

All night.

And all morning?

Till you turned up.

Actually, there's somewhere
I really need to be.

Okay.

I'll get someone
to run Gloria home.

Thanks.

Uh, tell Gloria
I'll catch her later.

When we spoke to Afrim,
he told us that Marcus

assaulted you yesterday.

Mm.

I told Marcus
that I was pregnant.

I thought that he'd be happy.

I even thought
that he'd ask me to marry him.

But it turns out he had
a vasectomy 10 years ago,

so the baby
couldn't have been his.

Is Gloria's baby alright?

I can't comment on that.

She's lost it, hasn't she?

Was it Marcus' fault?

Marcus, he...

He punched me.

So hard...in the belly.

I'm sorry.

Who was the biological father?

I was carrying Callum's baby.

Callum told me the truth
last night.

That he had a one-night stand
with Gloria.

We'd been trying for a baby.

Talking about
getting tests done.

Clearly it wasn't Callum
who had the problem.

Were you, um...

Were you happy
before the baby stuff?

Yeah, most of the time.

We had a laugh.

Callum could be so thoughtful...

...and so loving.

Nobody else saw that side
to him.

Do you think he deserved
to die like that?

Nobody deserves
to die like that.

Look, whoever killed
your husband

decided to take the law
into their own hands.

And that goes against
everything that I believe in.

There's something else.

I think Callum and his dad
were shot with their own gun.

When I went to the casino
to lay flowers,

I checked where Callum
kept it hidden.

Where was that?

In the bin store.

But it wasn't there.

The only other person that knew
about the gun was Adrian Cook.

Do you mind
if I ask you one more thing?

No.

Was Dean at your place
all last night?

Yeah.

Yeah,
till about 6:00 this morning.

Then he went home for a shower
and to get something to eat.

-How long for?
-Oh, I don't know.

A couple of hours.
Maybe more.

He got back around 9:00.

And that's when he insisted
on calling the practice nurse.

He's a sweetheart like that.

Lovely.

Yeah, this is Detective Sergeant
Vivienne Cole.

I'd like to request
some bolt cutters.

I reckon I've worked out where
the murder weapon came from.

-How come?
-Alice Maguire told me

her husband and his dad
kept a gun

stashed in the bin store
of the casino.

It's a 9-millimeter handgun.

I've spoken to the lab.
The ballistics match.

So they were shot
with their own gun.

That's what Alice thinks.

I spoke to
the intelligence unit.

A couple of nights ago,
Marcus Maguire

threw out a regular punter
for being drunk.

According to the bouncers,
he ended up in a heap

on the pavement outside.

Totally humiliated.

That punter

was ex-Detective Constable
Dean Casey.

Dean Casey lied to me.

About where he was
at the time of the killings.

I spoke to a colleague
who worked

with Detective Constable Casey
a few years back.

Rumor had it
he was strongly advised

to take early retirement.

Otherwise, he'd be facing
a discipline investigation.

Into what?

He was caught accessing
the Police National Computer.

Apparently, it was
the final confirmation

of what was long suspected.

-Which was?
-He was helping out his mate.

Adrian Cook.

So they know each other?

They go way back.
I've checked.

Dean's been a member
of that casino for years.

Adrian wanted rid
of the Maguires,

but he'd never get
his own hands dirty.

So he manipulated Dean.

But how?

Money?

Maybe Dean had gambling debts.

I think he did it for love.

He's in love with Gloria.
It's written all over his face.

David Bradford.

Yeah, tell him
I'll be right down.

Let's track down Dean Casey.

Before he shoots someone else.

I'm assuming
this isn't good news.

-Thanks for letting me know.
-Thank you.

Rob.
I've found the scooter.

There isn't a single print
on it.

Whoever it was
knew what he was doing.

Like an ex-policeman?

Gloria's friend, Dean Casey --

It turns out him and Adrian Cook
are old mates.

-Interesting.
-He also lied to Billie

about where he was
at the time of the shootings.

Now he's gone AWOL.

Hello?

It's only me.

Key's supposed to be
for emergencies only, Dean.

I didn't want you getting up
to answer the door.

How you doing?

Yeah, I'm okay.

I just wish the police
would let Afrim come home.

Well, they're only
doing their jobs.

He was selling drugs.

-I bought some food.
-Oh.

No, I really don't feel
like anything.

Can't find the boss.

He was talking
to a D.C.I. earlier

from the missing persons team.

I haven't seen him since.

Well, you don't think
his wife's been found dead?

Surely he would have told us.

What, us?

We're hardly
his favorite people.

Who is it?

0800.

Just a cold call.

Right.

Detective Constable Rob Brady.

Alright, thanks.

Dean Casey's car's just
turned up at his address.

He lives in the same block
as Gloria Tanner.

He could be armed.
Okay, Billie, get the kit.

-Yep.
-We should run this by

the detective inspector first.

Yeah, if we knew where he was.

Afrim is gonna be going mad
locked up in that place.

He'll be fine. They'll charge
him for the drugs offense,

and then
they'll bail him to return.

They think that he killed
Marcus and Callum.

They haven't got
any evidence against him.

-They can't have.
-And how do you know?

Look, I just do.

I just think that me and Afrim
need to get out of London.

Yeah, not a bad idea.

I've been thinking
about it meself.

I've been getting on
with his dad a lot better.

We could just get over
to Albania

and spend some proper
family time together, you know.

What's going on?

Dean?

That's his car.

Ground floor, number 23.

- Break it down.
- Armed police!

Stay where you are!
Do not move. We're clear!

Do not move!

- We're clear.
- Right.

I was a good cop, you know.

The thing is, to be effective,
you gotta bend the rules.

Otherwise, there's no stopping
the likes of Marcus Maguire.

What?

I did it for you.

You did what?

Have a look at these.

So he's got nothing left
to lose.

Let me tell them that you're
here and give yourself up.

-No.
-You're going to prison, Dean.

-No, I'm not.
-You're a killer!

Do you think you're any better
than Marcus and Callum?

'Cause you're not.
You're not.

And our Afrim's
been going through hell today

-because of you.
-I'm sorry about that.

I just grabbed
the first scooter I saw.

I didn't even notice
it was like his.

Gloria?

It's Trainee Detective Constable
Fitzgerald. Are you okay?

I got a gun.

You don't make a sound.

I'll kill you both
if you don't send her away.

Hey.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Can I come in?

I'm just gonna go to bed,
so perhaps tomorrow?

Sure.
That'll be fine.

Okay. Thank you.

I'm certain he's got Gloria
at gunpoint.

Okay, we now have
an armed siege.

This is a hostage situation.

Pull back
and set up a perimeter.

He could kill her any second.

There's nothing more we can do
apart from wait

until the trained negotiator
gets here.

David's still not responding.

Look at him.

I done you a favor.

How dare you decide
what's best for me?

He was a lowlife.

You know,
Marcus told me about you.

How you'd only bend the rules
if there was money in it.

He killed your baby.

I didn't say
that I'd forgiven him!

But I did love him.

And if this is
about how he treated me,

how come you killed Callum?

Hmm?

Oh, it's because
I slept with him.

Okay, there's no point in us
all standing here.

You go and see
if you can find David.

What did you actually think was
gonna happen between you and me?

I love you, Gloria.

Well, you make me sick.

I'm armed!
I'm gonna kill her!

You stupid, stupid man.

I don't know
if he'd have pulled a gun on me.

He couldn't.

Dean wasn't actually armed.

Then I don't understand.

We found Dean's medical records.

He was terminally ill.

Someone's here to see you.

Ah, come here.

I'm really sorry, Mum.

Dean Casey was using
an unregistered mobile.

Cell site should tell us where
he went after the shooting.

Which should give us a chance

-to find the gun.
-Right, send it over to me.

I'll apply for the cell site
and call data.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

After the shootings
this morning, the first time

Dean's phone signal
was static in any period

was on Bardene Street.

Now, I did a voters check.
Adrian Cook's mum

used to live there
before she moved to a care home.

That's worth following up.

Fancy heading over there
with me?

Oh, I'd love to, but someone has
to brief professional standards.

You know how itchy they get
about suicide by cop.

-Can't the boss do it?
-We're still not sure

where he is.

How did you know I was here?

Well, your car's
in the car park,

and I've searched
the rest of the building.

You're not planning
to throw yourself off, are you?

Of course not.

That would make you
detective inspector.

Yeah, and nobody wants that.

Look, um, Rob told me
that you had a visit

from the misper team today.

And, well, he's worried that
they might have found Sarah.

They haven't, have they?

No.

But they're winding down
the inquiry.

Which means
they think she's dead.

They're right.

Aren't they?

It's -- It's been
nearly five months.

You think I should accept it?

Yeah, I do.

But that's easy for me to say.

Sarah is dead.

My wife is dead.

Carly...

...your mother is dead.

It will take
some getting used to.

I didn't kill her.

No one thinks that you did.

Look, can you come away
from the edge?

I don't publicize this,
but I-I really hate heights.

Shall we go downstairs?

Okay.

Thanks...

...Vivienne.

Who am I kidding?

Guns.

Never really been my thing.

I need you to put that
on the floor.

Look at your face.

I'm guessing that
this is Marcus Maguire's gun.

It's a neat trick.

Using his own firearm
to take him out.

Yeah, I thought so.

Had a certain eloquence.

How did you convince
Dean Casey to do it?

Ah, that was easy.

He came into the casino, banging
on about Marcus and Callum.

I merely, merely provided
a solution.

You're being very open.

Let's make this official.

Oh, you won't be arresting me
today for anything, I'm afraid.

Oh, yeah?

Why's that, then?

Well, if you do...

I won't tell you where she is.

Who's that?

Your detective inspector's wife.

Oh, now I have your attention.

That's right.

Sarah Bradford
is very much alive.

So, we forget about the gun,

and I'll --
I'll tell you all about it.
